So, I’ve noticed a pattern in my life, and it’s scary. I feel like a dog chasing its tail. I come up with an idea—usually for a website or something online. I start building it, and sometimes I even finish it. But it doesn’t yield the results I want, so I give up and repeat the whole process again.
Part of the problem is that I expect instant results; another part is that I struggle to commit. This blog, which I write in as often as an old lady runs, is the only thing I’ve been consistent with for more than two years in my entire life.
I wish I could break the cycle and create something that people actually use. Maybe there’s a flaw in my outlook on life. I wonder how many people are like me—just drifting through life.

How to overcome boredom
Boredom is a disease that affects the mind and slowly progresses. You can be in a room and feel occupied, wholly or entirely bored. It is a state of being.
The best way to overcome boredom is to keep yourself occupied, even with minor tasks. The human mind is like a muscle with incredible repetitive capacity.
What you do every day is who you become. So the best way to keep yourself occupied is to train the brain. For example, reading a book, even if you read one chapter daily, you start developing a habit and keep yourself occupied.
Then if you start adding to that, like writing down a summary of what you read and then drawing a picture of it, little by little, you will get more creative and your life will become less boring and more productive.
There is always something to do. Your mind is not occupied, even if you live nowhere with no friends. You can still find stuff to do, for example, gardening, watching a movie, writing a movie script, or joining a gym.
